FolioWeekly

ast week, two young men walked into a Dollar General store around 9:20 p.m. and pointed two CO2 BB pistols that looked like handguns at the two employees. They wanted money.

One of them escaped and was arrested the next day. The other never left the store. He was shot and killed by a customer.

That customer had stopped at the store on his way home from work that Monday night.

His wife had given the 57-year-old business owner and grandfather a list of groceries to pick up on his way home.

When the manager alerted the customer what was happening, the customer walked to the front of the store, pulled out his concealed .45-caliber handgun about 5 feet from the suspects and ordered the two men to drop their weapons.

Rakeem Deveal Odoms, 22, did not drop the BB pistol he was pointing at the store manager. The customer fired three times, apparently hitting the suspect twice, and Odoms died at the scene of wounds to his head, chest and shoulder.

“He put himself in harm’s way by getting involved,” homicide Lt. Rob Schoonover told The Florida Times-Union. “To me, that is an extraordinary person to do that.”

Extraordinary is one word you could use.

Vigilante is another.

That’s how City Councilmember Denise Lee described the incident at a recent council meeting. “We have vigilantes out there,” she said.

“People are afraid. We need police officers on the street,” she said, making her case for allowing the sheriff to carry over $10.5 million in savings from this year’s budget and use it in the fiscal year starting Oct. 1.

That’s good timing for the sheriff, who got what he wanted. And, as for the customer, he’s a hero, right?

He is if the comments on the Jacksonville.com story are any indication: “I’d like to get that grandfather’s signature.

He’s my hero.” “[Kudos] to the guy with the CWP [concealed weapons permit] and the guts to use it. We need more like him!”

The police seem to agree.

“The citizen did not get shot, none of the employees were hurt, this worked out good tonight,” Schoonover told the Times-Union.

“To us, he prevented any other violence from happening.”

Schoonover said the manager and clerk in the store could have been harmed. Yes, they could have been harmed by the customer with the .45-caliber handgun.

Apparently this customer is a marksman who shoots in competition. Schoonover even praised the man for using good restraint in not shooting at the fleeing suspect, 19-year-old

Aundre Krishna Campbell. The customer had a permit to carry a concealed firearm.

This is exactly the kind of situation that gun rights advocates use to bolster their argument that guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens save lives. They may indeed add this story to their arsenal.

But it doesn’t always work out that way, even when professionals are doing the shooting. Earlier this month, nine bystanders were wounded by police gunfire, ricochets and fragments while police were trying to stop Jeffrey Johnson, who had just killed a former co-worker in front of the Empire State Building in New York City.

Many have posited that if someone besides James Holmes had been carrying a gun in that Aurora, Colo., movie theater on July 20, fewer people would have been killed or wounded. Or it could have been much worse.

Most law enforcement professionals tell people “don’t be a hero” when faced with an armed robber. It’s better to lose your money than your life.

In this case, the customer probably didn’t realize these two young men were holding BB guns instead of the real thing. For whatever reason, the two men were desperate enough or stupid enough to add guns to a crime, heightening the risk and the possible punishment. Police picked up Campbell on an unrelated burglary warrant. Because his accomplice Odoms died during the crime, Campbell is charged with felony murder in addition to robbery.

Too often the gun argument comes down to an all-or-nothing tug of war. Of course lawabiding citizens have the right to own guns. But it’s also true that the enormous supply and ease of buying guns makes the United States more dangerous than countries where firearms have more restrictions.

Maybe Chris Rock had the right idea when he said what we really need is bullet control.

“I think every bullet should cost $5,000,” Rock said in a comedy routine. “’Cause if a bullet cost $5,000 there’d be no more innocent bystanders.”

The customer who killed Odoms might not have done anything wrong — many people think he did everything right — but the scene does feel like something out of the Old West.

Even the store’s name could have come out of a Jesse James story.

Meanwhile, the grandfather must deal with the consequences of his actions.

His son told the Times-Union that his father was thrust into the situation.

“He’s got to deal with taking someone else’s life.”

Good Job!

I just finished reading your excellent article [“Plenty of Blame to Go Around,” Editor’s

I have always suspected that Alvin Brown is dull, pseudo-intelligent and just going through the motions. What a poor excuse for mayor.

I enjoyed your article and relate very well to your style of writing. I found your statement: “Homophobia — whether personally felt or perceived in one’s voter base — is stronger than the desire to strengthen a weak economy.” Wow, how profound is this?

I Don’t ♥ Television

I don’t usually respond to things I read in a magazine or newspaper but, for some reason, I read the piece in Folio Weekly [“I Love Christian Conservatives!” I Love Television, Aug. 21], and now I have to respond to it.

I know being in the media gives [Wm.™ Steven Humphrey] a license to twist the truth [to] whichever [way] suits his purpose. But when he starts in on the Holy Bible and crank up the media twist machine, please have “Some Knowlege” [sic] of what he is talking about.

You used 1 Timothy 2:12, for example; well, the meaning of that verse is [that] Paul was simply cautioning women (and men) to learn about the scriptures with an attitude or manner of silence. He was NOT saying that a woman had no say or to be submissive to men.

He also mentioned Psalm 137, happiness and smashing of babies on the rocks. Once again, he cranked up the media twist machine and got that all wrong or at least implide [sic] the reason the Jews were happy (in his words smashing babies on the rocks). My friend, you cannot take a verse or a poem written in the Old Testament and apply it and understand

Thanks So Much, Righteous TV Man

I am shocked, shocked, shocked at the lack of proper reverence displayed by some of my Christian, conservative colleagues for the writings of Wm.™ Steven Humphrey. Do they not appreciate the wonders of his vitriolic venomous rhetoric? Do they not realize his birthright to render his judgment of us by virtue of being a progressive, a liberal, a socialist, a Democrat? How can they not acknowledge his supreme righteousness? Why, he must have been anointed in the Temple of Our Consciences to cast his light of exposure upon us! How can they not wait with bated

Do they not appreciate the wonders of his vitriolic venomous rhetoric? Do they not realize his birthright to render his judgment of us by virtue of being a progressive, a liberal, a socialist, a Democrat? How can they not acknowledge his supreme righteousness? breath for his pronouncements as he deigns to enlighten us with his wisdom? How can they not know that our lives are besmirched with the evil lure of filthy lucre to which Humphrey and his comrades in ideology are immune?

And, of course, only he and his fellow ideologues are endowed with the complete altruism that makes them immune to our frailties and that makes them worthy to do so.

Why, the trademark in his name must bespeak his eleemosynary mission as he has deigned to walk amongst us!

For shame on all of us. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! And please, Mr. Humphrey, may you forgive us all our trespasses and cast your mantle of redemption upon us as we prostrate ourselves at your altar and chant our mea culpas and mea maxima culpas.

More Suggestions for Pension Reform

I read your Backpage editorial, “The Elephant in the Room” [Aug. 21], and agree with the writer, but would like to add two more suggestions for working on this crisis. First, I want to say that I am a city of Jacksonville retiree and receive a pension from the city.

The two additions I would like to suggest are: 1. No one (exception: disability) should

In other words, if you begin working for the city at age 20 or 30, work for the city for 20 years and retire (from the city) at age 40 or 50, you cannot receive those retirement benefits until you actually retire, not move to another job somewhere else, drawing both a salary and pension benefits at the same time.

receive pension payments until they reach a minimum age of 60-67 (the same rules as Social Security.) In other words, if you begin working for the city at age 20 or 30, work for the city for 20 years and retire (from the city) at age 40 or 50, you cannot receive those retirement benefits until you actually retire, not move to another job somewhere else, drawing both a salary and pension benefits at the same time. As a former city retiree, I knew people who worked for the city for 20 years, started drawing their pension (50 percent of their former salary) at age 40, then moved on to another job (not with the city) drawing a full paycheck for the new job (which they earned and were fully entitled to) along with their “retirement” pension from the city.

2. No one who retires from the city, then obtains another job with the city or is elected to a job with the city, should receive both retirement (pension benefits) and a salary from the city at the same time, even if they are different jobs. If they are already receiving pension benefits when they start the new job, the pension should be suspended, so that they do not receive two paychecks from the city.

Pension Tension “… if the plan was created for three people (two retired and one ready to retire) and the benefits have to be generated for decades to come, who are the employees contributing to these funds? Where does the money come from?”

— Question asked by Carla Miller, director of the City of Jacksonville Office of Ethics, Compliance and Oversight, in an interim report released last week of her investigation of a special pension plan created by the Police & Fire Pension Fund for three of its employees. Pension Fund administrator John Keane has been a member of the plan since it was created in the late 1990s. He already receives a city pension of $60,000 annually after retiring from the city’s fire department. He currently earns a salary of $285,000 a year as director of the Police & Fire Pension Fund. And when he retires again, he could receive up to $200,000 annually in retirement from the special Senior Pension Plan. The city’s General Counsel Cindy Laquidara issued an opinion on Aug. 14 that the Senior Pension Plan is illegal under the Jacksonville City Charter. The pension fund attorney says it’s legal because it’s part of the fund employee’s compensation package. Miller also reports that Council Auditor Kirk Sherman says his office didn’t know the plan existed or of the city’s liability to it until 2012. Miller’s investigation continues.

Eyes on the Prize “Also, re: your other call … we have cut the check for Mr. Simpo today and he has been called to come and pick it up. Let me know if you have other questions or concerns.”

— Aleizha Batson, deputy director of communications for the Office of Mayor Alvin Brown, told Folio Weekly the city cut a $250 check for a 12-year-old musician. James Simpo Jr. won third place in the youth music competition during Jacksonville Jazz Festival in May. His father called the city repeatedly to ask when his son would receive his $250 prize, but he didn’t get anywhere until he contacted Action News and Folio Weekly. In response to a follow-up question, Batson said the city hasn’t been able to reach first-place winner DeAndre Lettsome ($1,000 prize) and is coordinating with second-place winner Robert Mitchell ($500) to pick up his money.

They Still Do That?

“Permission to Paddle” — Title of a letter sent home from Yulee Elementary School for parents to sign during the first week of school. Last year, Nassau County paddled 21 students for infractions that included defiance of authority (4), insubordination (3), skipping class (1) and bringing toys and pagers to school (1).

Florida is among the 19 states in the U.S. that still allow punishment by paddle.

Best Laid Plans

Supporters of safer streets take aim at a moratorium on impact fees

J

acksonville’s reputation as one of the country’s most dangerous places to walk or ride a bike became a personal truth for Abhishek Mukherjee on Sept. 7, 2011.

He was pedaling down Riverside Avenue on his way to San Marco at about 5:30 p.m.

Just past the Fuller Warren Bridge from Computer Power Place to Forest Street, Riverside Avenue has no bike path. As Mukherjee pedaled along that stretch of road, a city bus passed him on the left, clipping his handlebars. Mukherjee’s bike twisted underneath him, and he bounced off the side of the bus and landed in the street (video: bit.ly/v04y6c). Mukherjee was one of five local cyclists struck by a vehicle within a three-day period that September. Mukherjee survived, with damage to the discs in his vertebrae, coming away with an even more passionate commitment to lobbying the city to make its streets safer for bicyclists and pedestrians.

In 2011, the Jacksonville City Council adopted a new development impact fee formula that will fund bike paths throughout the city and provide money to fill in gaps on streets like Riverside Avenue. The fee is designed to halt sprawl, decrease the cost of downtown and urban development and offer developers savings if they build bike paths, multi-use developments, add affordable housing or redevelop old behemoths like Arlington’s Town & Country Shopping Center on University Boulevard.

The plan divides the city into 10 zones and five regional areas and lists priority projects for each zone, paid for with transportation fees from development in that area. In Riverside Avondale, mobility fees will help fund a streetcar ($50 million). In Arlington, it will build a pedestrian overpass across the Arlington Expressway ($3 million).

But a month after City Council adopted the 2030 Mobility Plan in September 2011, it voted unanimously to suspend the new transportation impact fee for a year, to spur new development and economic recovery.

The moratorium will expire on Oct. 12, unless the Council extends it. Mukherjee and other city residents are educating themselves on the Mobility Plan and advocating that City Council allow the moratorium to expire.

“Any funding toward transportation issues will create a different mentality in the city by giving cyclists the importance and respect of automobiles [in transportation planning],” Mukherjee said. “That will change the culture long term.”

During the year that the mobility fee moratorium has been in place, the city has issued 19 building permits — from Oct. 20, 2011 through Aug. 15, 2012 — in which the mobility fee was waived, according to figures provided by the city’s Concurrency & Mobility Management System Office. At the most, those developers would have paid the city $2 million in mobility fees. Since the money wasn’t collected, projects outlined in the 2030 Mobility Plan weren’t funded, and they weren’t built. Unless the moratorium is lifted, taxpayers will pay for those projects or they won’t get done, said landscape architect Lad Hawkins, who is president of the Greater Arlington Civic Association. The total cost the 2030 plan in 2010 dollars was $444 million.

“This is the only good tool we have right now for planning purposes and this is the only source of money we have for dealing with all of these issues,” Hawkins said, “like the need for a new bus stop or a new bicycle connection. This money can be used for all those things. Waive this thing for another year, and we are going to end up having another year’s worth of money

thrown down the drain.”

Under the old fair share schema, the city charged a developer for a portion of the road improvements needed to accommodate new development. If the roads could accommodate added traffic from a new development, the developer wouldn’t be required to pay any impact fees. By contrast, most roads in densely developed areas are already over capacity. In those areas, a developer would pay a portion of the cost of upgrading the road to handle the traffic already on it, as well as new traffic from the new development. Fair share wasn’t fair.

“What we had was a system that subsidizes development on the fringes,” said planner Ennis Davis, who writes about planning on the blog MetroJacksonville.com and who worked for the planning company that helped develop the 2030 Mobility Plan.

“It was easier and cheaper to build in a cow pasture 10 miles out and have the state or the city help fund the widening of the road,” Davis said.

After the state of Florida ended fair share assessments for transportation in 2009, Jacksonville’s former Planning & Development Department chief Bill Killingsworth undertook the creation of a new development impact fee based on a smart growth planning policy. The Florida Chapter of the American Planning Association gave Killingsworth an award for his plan.

The Jacksonville City Council hoped to stimulate development by waiving the mobility fee. City Council president Bill Bishop said he has not heard from developers who want the moratorium extended, and he said it might just expire. Bishop said if someone demonstrated to him that the moratorium had triggered specific development, he might be convinced to extend it.

OF BENEFIT

Commercial real estate attorney Brenda Ezell said she would like to see it extended for at least another six months. She said the moratorium is an incentive because it reduces costs. She couldn’t name a project that went forward because of the moratorium, but she said that any incentive influences development decisions. She served on the city’s Mobility Plan Task Force, which developed the plan. If the city helps developers recover, she said it will mean more money for mobility projects.

“This is not money that we would get but for a project in the first place,” she said. “If a project doesn’t get done, there is no fee to collect.”

New development increased in 2011’12, but advocates for doing away with the moratorium don’t believe it helped. In St. Johns County, commissioners cut the transportation impact fee by half for commercial development, but kept the residential impact fee in place.

Assistant county administrator Jerry Cameron said residential starts in St. Johns County top all the counties it borders — Clay, Putnam, Flagler and Duval counties — combined.

University of North Florida biologist John Hatle commutes on Beach Boulevard to UNF by bicycle, in part, he said, as a protest against urban sprawl. He said his family also saves $3,000 to 4,000 a year on a second car. There is a right-of-way along Beach Boulevard that cushions him from traffic, but he said at least once a week, a driver will cut him off. He’s been commuting to UNF since 2004 and welcomes any bicycling improvements, but he said he hadn’t heard of the 2030 Mobility Plan.

Jacksonville Bicycle Coalition member Mukherjee and other advocates of the Mobility Plan realize the public doesn’t know much about it. They hope to educate residents about its advantages and urge them to contact the City Council to let the moratorium expire.

“The mobility fee funds more sidewalks, more bike facilities,” Davis said. “It will fund a streetcar in Riverside, so that one day, you can walk out of Kickbacks, hop on a streetcar and take it all the way to Bay Street downtown.

Instead of arguing whether Mellow Mushroom should tear down a building for a parking lot or build a parking garage, they can pay into a fee that will fund a streetcar.

“That’s thinking long term.”

“That town is pretty dead right now. The theater is the anchor.”

— John Watzke describes how life in Green Cove Springs suffered when the Clay Theatre closed four years ago. Watzke made the comments as he explained to The Florida Times-Union that he and his brother Charlie bought the 75-year-old movie house and plan to show first-run movies there seven days a week. After Hurricane Katrina, the brothers left New Orleans where their father and grandfather had been movie projectionists. They reopened the Ocala Drive-In Theater in 2011 (bit.ly/PsrZkN).

Bouquets to head coach Daryl Howland and the entire Jacksonville Axemen team for winning the USA Rugby League National Championship.

Brickbats to Rachael Bennett for raising questions of ethics and conflict of interest less than a week after winning the Republican primary for St. John’s County Commissioner District 5. Bennett told voters she resigned from a job as vice president of one of St. Johns County’s largest developers in January to run for a seat on the county commission. She still works for Hutson Companies as a consultant, and her role there appears to be significant. On Aug. 20, she represented Hutson in a meeting with St. Johns River Water Management District and two St. Johns County Utility Department engineers. Bennett has a voicemail and phone extension at Hutson, and the invitation to the SJRWMD meeting was sent to her Hutson email address. It’s important that Bennett is transparent about her affiliation with the company because she may face conflicts of interest as a commissioner. She will certainly vote on matters concerning the county utility and its employees.

Bouquets to Carmen Franz and University of North Florida’s Eco-Adventure Office for teaching students gastronomical self-sufficiency. At UNF Osprey Gardens, Franz teaches organic gardening to students, classes and clubs that sign up for plots. In addition to raising food, they learn how to cook and prepare fresh produce, and about nutrition, energy conservation and food and social justice. Osprey Gardens expands this fall to a new location where the students cultivate vineyards, fruit trees and shrubs, row crops and container gardens. The Osprey Café will feature food grown in the garden, and its produce is sold during the school’s Market Days.

ne day on Twitter (@AGGancarski), I felt like stirring the pot a little. I wrote that if Jaguars owner Shad Khan were mayor, the human rights ordinance would have been pushed through.

WJCT’s Melissa Ross (@MelissaInJax) and politics blogger Abel Harding (@AbelHarding) also chimed in about the difference between the executive leadership styles of Mayor Alvin Brown and Khan.

My theory was that Khan would have lobbied the City Council to pass the bill, because he understood instinctively it was the right thing for business to have the rights of everyone protected.

Unlike other politicians, who avoided taking stands on the issue and reputedly mitigated against it, I believed Khan would have had an opinion closer to that of another local visionary, John Delaney, who advocated for the bill and the expansion of civil rights it represented.

Khan wouldn’t comment on this matter, but as we’ve seen with the Maurice Jones-Drew negotiations and the owner’s earlier dealings with the city over the entertainment venues contract, he’s been a paragon of professionalism in a climate that often looks like amateur hour.

Consider the magnitude of the Jaguars agreeing to play one game in London for four years, starting in 2013. I have a low tolerance for the pandering that so often passes as publicminded discourse. But I’ve got all day for talk like this: “The key point is to sell Jacksonville to the world. … We are serious about marketing Jacksonville as a world-class leisure destination, as well as, and more importantly, a place to grow a business, a great place to raise a family and to really have the full power of the NFL, to leverage this area,” Khan said. “Jacksonville is the heart of our effort and, moving forward, all of us are going to be uplifted.”

Have we heard this kind of language from a Jaguars owner? Not exactly. While Wayne Weaver’s commitment to Jacksonville in terms of philanthropy was considerable, he didn’t use this kind of language. It was as if he’d bought into the perception that Jacksonville is a “small market” requiring special handling, like tarps on seats or giveaway programs through Winn-Dixie.

It took a concerted civic effort to reverse the attendance trend. It was finally turned around, but at what cost? The nation perceived the team alone couldn’t move tickets; that it required a Save-the-Whales-style effort to get it done.

We all heard the rap the national media placed on Jacksonville. The market was too small. Too podunk for a Super Bowl. Not enough fine dining or decent hotels. And they were right — right because, technically, it was true, and right because the echo chamber

“We are serious about marketing Jacksonville as a world-class leisure destination ... a place to grow a business, a great place to raise a family and to really have the full power of the NFL, to leverage this area.” reinforced that mentality. The cruise ships and Super Bowl week parties at dives like the former Club 5 may have solved the problem, but they also called attention to the meme that Jacksonville was like a little kid playing dressup with the great cities of the world.

That was almost a decade ago. Now, Jacksonville as a city faces great challenges, which were talked about back then by only a few people. As a football market, though, the Jaguars appear to be in decent shape. Other markets now have ticket problems. Jaguars fans only need to wonder about the usual things: Is Gabbert for real, how will MJD’s return proceed, has the team solved the left tackle problem and will the secondary be able to cover anyone this year? Those are vexing questions in a sense, but in another sense, they’re easier to address than “When are the Jags moving to Los Angeles?”

Some have speculated the teal-and-black team will move to London full-time at some point. While it’s impossible to know the future, a lot would have to happen to make that hegira a reality. London would have to prove itself as a football market. Jacksonville’s enthusiasm for the Jags would have to return to the 2002 level of doldrums. And teams like the Buccaneers and Chargers would have to fix their issues, because they could be candidates for such a move as well.

I don’t see it. What I do see is an owner who might realize that the city, not just the team, could use his leadership. Right now, it’s in the rhetorical sense. But who knows what the future holds? With no one on the horizon inspiring enthusiasm, why not consider someone who has never failed at any professional endeavor, someone who knows what it means to chase and capture greatness?

Mike Lentz

Hails from: Lancaster, Pa. Began brewing: 1991. I was doing my post-doctorate at UC Berkeley at the time, and we had people in the lab going out for beers pretty regularly, and there was a group of us who interacted with another lab from UC in San Fran and one of us challenged the other to a competition. I still have and use the equipment from the very first one that we did. We decided the best beer was when you mixed the two together — neither were all that great.

Brews: 15 to 20 times a year or once or twice a month.

Joined CASK: 2006 Favorite brew: I have a Rye Pale Ale right now that I really like. Latrobe’s IPA was the best I’ve had in a while.

Notable: Highest-ranked judge in CASK; bronze medal for Cowford ESB (Extra Special/Strong Bitter) On Brewing: I design all my own recipes, and I like that aspect of it. I’m a biologist, I’m a scientist and I like that a lot of the science is involved in it. You can do it without thinking about the science, but the fact that there’s biochemistry, chemistry and biology is very interesting to me as scientist.

The hobby for those who thirst for new tastes

Story by Claire Goforth Photos by Walter Coker

ssst, craft beer aficionados: The city has been quietly infiltrated by a sleeper cell of homebrewers. While you were busy just drinking beer, a legion of enthusiasts has h been practicing chemistry with hops, yeast, carboys and kegerators behind closed doors. c This time next year, your neighbor’s toolshed might be your favorite watering hole. m Although people have been brewing beer for 12,000 years, according to the b American Homebrewers Association (AHA), A homebrewing was virtually unheard of in the h United States 20 years ago. In those days, beer U ccame two ways: regular or light. But as the craft beer market trickled down from the higher, b Western states, palates were whetted for more W diversity of flavor. People thirsted for hoppy d American pale ales, clamored for caramel-hinted A Irish reds, longed for sophisticated Black Lagers I and a English Barleywines. Grocery and liquor stores with larger selections provided some s relief, but it wasn’t enough for these people. They r wondered what would happen when a Belgian w aale met an India pale ale and got a little frothy.

Enter homebrewing. As the hobby grew iin popularity, clubs and brew supply shops popped up all over the country. Today, tens of p tthousands of people enjoy a hobby that is equal parts science, art and fun.

Northeast Florida is no exception. In 2005,

a small homebrew supply shop, Just Brew It, opened in a tiny space off Blanding Boulevard.

And in 2006, some enterprising brewers eager to share and learn started a club they dubbed Cowford Ale Sharing Klub, or CASK. Since then, the local homebrew scene has exploded.

The owner of Just Brew It, Ken Stevens, wrote via email that business has more than doubled since the first year, allowing the shop to move to Rosselle Street, expand its hours of operation and in 2011 open a second location in Jacksonville Beach. “I would guess that there are more than 2,000 home brewers in Duval County alone,” he wrote.

According to CASK president Prescott Scaffe, the club currently has more than 400 members, 250 of whom are active. He said at least 75 people typically show up for monthly meetings. “I don’t know what happened this year, but it’s starting to get really crazy.” Meetings are run like any typical club, introducing new members, judging “interklub” competitions, talking about upcoming events and exchanging information about competitions. But there is one key difference: the beer. A little of nature’s social lubricant goes a long way to forging friendships and creating a micro-culture. CASK member David Poquette said, “One of the best parts is the camaraderie and sharing beer at the meetings.”

Fellow homebrewer Shaun Newman agreed.

“It’s a community to me,” he said, “the sort of community that’s hard to find anywhere else.”

So how does a person get into brewing beer?

Most brewers began as average, if enthusiastic, beer drinkers. Somewhere along the way, someone gave them a homebrew kit — such as the Mr. Beer Kit — as a gift. The rest, as they say, is zymurgy (fermentation science). From pre-packed mixes, it’s a few short steps to using and then developing recipes and competing.

If you’re like CASK member Lukas Kluz, it was just another step to entering all nine homebrewing competitions in Florida (and placing in the top for homebrewers in the state in 2011).

CASK member and UNF biology professor Mike Lentz has been brewing for 20 years, ever since folks in a lab at University of California San Francisco challenged his lab at UC Berkeley to a brew-off. He uses his scientific background by “collecting, purifying and characterizing wild yeast” to “identify new strains that have potential for use in brewing.”

One weekend in July, a group of these scientists masquerading as artists amassed for the fifth annual First Coast Cup (FCC) at the Four Points Sheraton on Baymeadows Road.

Held by CASK and sponsored by Aardwolf Brewery, Bold City Brewery, Green Room Brewing, Intuition Ale Works, Just Brew It, Kickbacks and Webb’s Honey, among others, the event was not “a bunch of guys getting

drunk at a brew-ha-ha,” a typical stereotype attendee David Lemaine mentioned. It was a highly technical competition that just so happened to include lots of beer. The contest has gotten fierce: In its first year, 245 brews were judged, compared to nearly 600 this year.

As both Lentz and Kluz pointed out, homebrewing isn’t just a hobby, it’s a community.

Facilitated by competitions like FCC, homebrewers develop long-distance friendships and friendly but fierce regional rivalries. CASK members were happy to point out that they won the Hogtown contest in May. Hogtown members were not so quick to admit this loss, but it didn’t stop the two clubs from joining forces to create some seriously delicious brews to share. In the world of homebrews, the rule is “may the best flavor win.”

Many judges, competitors and friends travel to competitions. Jeremy Pate and Ron and Sharon Montefusco drove from eastern Alabama for the FCC, one of several they will attend this year. Members of MOOLA (MultiOrgasmics Of Lower Alabama) and Hogtown Brewers in Gainesville, all three have been involved in the homebrew community for years.

Using a flashlight to assess a brew’s clarity, Ron Montefusco pointed out that competitions are not just about winning; many people enter to get an expert opinion of their creations.

With a low entry fee ($6 a brew for FCC), competitions are a great way to figure out how to improve recipes. “Ron is the highest-

ranked judge in Alabama,” Sharon Montefusco said proudly. Pate, a brew consultant who helps professionals refine their own brewing operations, chimed in, “My official ranking is I likey and I want morey.” For them, homebrewing is more than a hobby. “This is our beer life,” early retiree Ron Montefusco said.

The camaraderie among brewers was evident at the awards banquet. As winners were announced, people cheered and shared brews from private stashes. Beaming with pride, David Webb, a commercial beekeeper in Cocoa, passed around anise mead and sassafras/orange blossom mead to celebrate his win. And when the home team won the club gold medal, people stood and hooted.

It’s the kind of fun that occurs when great passion intersects with great company.

CASK philosophy declares, “Brewing may be considered as a science but it is the chemistry between the ingredients and the brewer that gives beer life.” And it’s the chemistry between brewers that gives homebrewing life.

Joined CASK: 2007 Favorite brew: In the summer, I drink wheat beers. I like hoppy beers, too.

I like a good IPA. I start brewing those darker, stronger beers in the fall to have them for the winter.

Notable: Leads CASK members in points for Florida brewers; won four medals in First Coast Cup, including bronze for An Ugly Looking One Roggenbier (German wheat beer); once had a full five-gallon glass carboy explode.

On Brewing: I’ve never really brewed the same beer twice. I get a general idea, find a recipe online or in one of the recipe books, and I take it as a guideline, basically.

Brews: Once a month.

Joined CASK: 2011 Favorite brew: I like Terrapin Rye Pale and Bold City Smoky Porter.

Notable: We flooded the kitchen once. The first time we brewed when we put the bottling bucket together, it was in the “on” position instead of the “off” position, so when we poured the beer in, about a gallon came pouring out.

My husband was too busy videotaping to help me because he thought it was so funny. The kitchen was sticky for a while.

On Brewing: I like homebrewing because I get to try new things and learn new techniques. I’m starting to experiment with the recipes. I just brewed a smoky porter, and I have cream ale.

Perhaps I’m being too harsh. Preteens and their slightly older siblings might enjoy a few creeps and chills from this one. From a technical point of view, the film does exhibit some polish. Experienced genre fans, however, have seen it all before in better — and longer — movies.

Among those movies which “The Apparition” recalls, the most prominent are the original “Poltergeist” and the 2001 Japanese feature “Pulse,” already the victim of an inferior 2006 American remake of the same title. But there are many others.

The familiar plot goes like this: Some college types happen upon a video of an experiment in which some other stupid fools — in a sort of scientific séance — try to conjure a departed spirit in corporeal form. It doesn’t go well. The students think they can do better, and, wearing contraptions on their heads to channel energy and other gobbledygook, they give it another try. Things go even worse this time.

2012At this point, I should interject that the beginning of “The Apparition” utilizes the trite and tired convention of the videocam footage that’s become synonymous with too many horror films since “The Blair Witch Project.”

However, writer/director Todd Lincoln abandons it — thank the heavens — once the story moves to present time. Unfortunately, he resorts to just about every other cliché.

The present-day story has Kelly (Jacksonville’s own Ashley Greene of the “Twilight” flicks) and her boyfriend Ben (Sebastian Stan) moving into her parents’ suburban home somewhere in California. The subdivision is bordered by several turbines and electrical power lines that the director frequently highlights, for a purpose that’s never clear. And the neighborhood is practically deserted except for a man, his young daughter and their dog. The dog is the cutest of the bunch, so you can imagine what happens to it.

night for Kelly and Ben. After she gets spooked good and proper, she discovers that Ben was part of the earlier disastrous inquiry into the unknown. Something is after them now, and sweet Kelly thinks their house is haunted.

Just how she could not have known anything about Ben’s spooky past or why it has taken so long for the conjured spook to come calling is never explained. Instead, Ben’s former partner Patrick (Tom Felton) shows up, explaining that it’s not the house that’s haunted — it’s them.

What Kelly and Ben do in the face of their predicament is just too stupid even for the hackneyed horror genre.

The same goes for the plot, which maroons the poor twosome on a deserted island of nonsense.

And the chase is on.

“The Apparition” is basically a twoperson film. Greene and Stan appear alone or together in nearly every scene. An almostunrecognizable Felton (Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films) has a key role as project coordinator Patrick, but he’s in the movie for only a short time. The rest of the dead space is left for Greene and Stan to occupy as best they can.

As a director, Lincoln demonstrates some technical expertise. He knows how to use a camera. What is most woefully lacking is a story that makes any sense or characters who can evoke any credibility. What Kelly and Ben do in the face of their predicament is just too stupid even for the hackneyed horror genre. The same goes for the plot, which maroons the poor twosome on a deserted island of nonsense.

The tagline for “The Apparition” reads: “Once you believe, you die!” Not much chance of death-by-movie, since it’s impossible to believe anything about this one.

Joss Whedon wrote and directed this adaptation of Marvel Comics Universe about a half-dozen superheroes out to stop evil Loki from opening a portal to another dimension that would mean certain destruction for Earth. An able ensemble cast – Robert Downey Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlet Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston – along with a tight storyline and deft direction, raise the bar on the genre.

BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD **@@ Rated PG-13 • Epic Theatre St. Augustine Young wild-child Hushpuppy (Quvenzhané Wallis) is a girl who knows how to survive.

Cam Brady (Will Ferrell) and Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis) pull out every dirty old trick and some new ones in fighting for a seat in Congress. As political satire, it’s not substantive, but as a ridiculous Ferrell comedy, it delivers.

CELESTE & JESSE FOREVER **G@ Rated R • AMC Regency Square, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd.

“Amicable divorce” is an oxymoron, unless the couple divorcing is Celeste (Rashida Jones) and Jesse (Andy Samberg).

SPARKLE *G@@ Rated PG-13 • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency Square, Cinemark Tinseltown, Hollywood River City, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd.

Set in 1968, at the height of Motown’s glory, sisters Delores (Tike Sumpter), Sister (Carmen Ejogo) and Sparkle (Jordin Sparks) are the girl group on top, with all the highs and lows fame and success bring. Too much attention will be paid to the fact that this is the late Whitney Houston’s last film, and even though she’s good as the trio’s mother, the real accolades should go to Sparks. Like a songbird she is.

TED **@@ Rated R • AMC Orange Park, Regal Beach Blvd.

The bass player for Low Counts canceled on Byron Smallwood (left) and Matt Walsh before their first gig, but they went on anyway and have remained a duo ever since.

THE LOW COUNTS with SCREAMIN’ EAGLE 10 p.m. Sept. 9 Burro Bar, 100 E. Adams St., Downtown Tickets are $5 353-4686

W

hen The Black Keys and The White Stripes first crashed the rock scene 10 years ago, their primal, garage-blues sound was considered revolutionary. Even more earthshaking was their two-piece format: Where was the bass player? No second guitarist? How could they sound so full being just a duo?

North Carolina’s The Low Counts carry on that stripped-down tradition, but what sets Matt Walsh and Bryon Smallwood apart are their roots. Walsh cut his teeth on the purist blues and rockabilly scene, while Smallwood comes from a Southern punk background, which means The Low Counts’ swampy, scuzzy, shit-kicking result represents a reinvention of each man’s musical personality. Walsh chatted about the new band’s spontaneous combustion, their first album and how difficult it is to bring something new to the table.

Folio Weekly: Given your and Bryon’s divergent musical pasts, how did you come together to form The Low Counts?

Matt Walsh: I was doing a lot of rockabilly, blues and roots music, and I wanted to mix all of that together into one sound. Bryon, who lives here in Statesville, N.C., was in same boat.

F.W.: Did you start off saying “We’re going to limit this to a duo”?

M.W.: No, we never intended to just be a duo.

But we couldn’t find a bass player who lived close by, and as we kept playing and writing, we said, “We’ll figure out the meat and bones, then hopefully bring somebody in who can learn the stuff.” But that never really happened. The first show we did, our bass player couldn’t make it, so instead of canceling, we covered the gig.

And afterwards we thought, “There wasn’t really

anything missing.” Plus it’s a lot more costefficient. [Laughs.] No van — just a hatchback with an amp, guitar, drums and two people.

F.W.: So it’s more of an economic decision than anything.

M.W.: It’s getting harder and harder for independent musicians to tour in this economy, and if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it, you know?

People like The Low Counts this way. We’re not bound to the idea of being a duo, however; we might add something later if we can afford it.

But right now it just works.

F.W.: According to your website, the two of you reportedly wrote 20 songs in less than three weeks. Was this project all about originals from the start?

M.W.: Definitely. I put out an album under my own name in 2007 that did well with roots radio and college stations, but I felt like I was only on the verge of where I wanted to go. I wanted to be more original outside that format,

M.W.: We’ve recorded all the rough tracks for it, and we’ll probably do some overdubs to give it some variety in the sound — but only to the extent that we can reproduce it live. We’re looking at releasing later this fall.

F.W.: Even though you’ve both been playing music for a long time, is it challenging as a relatively new band, to build a new audience?

M.W.: That’s a funny question. We’ve only been together for six months, and sometimes clubs will bite on us right away — and then it does better than my solo stuff. But other times, it can be hard because we don’t have any reviews yet.

But it seems like no matter where we go, we get a great response. I have run into a couple of the rootsier clubs feeling that we’re not traditional enough, but I think some people just get stuck in a mold and don’t want to hear anything new.

F.W.: If you’re a fan of raw music, though, there’s no way you won’t like The Low Counts.

M.W.: A lot of people that listen to the blues

The first show we did, our bass player couldn’t make it, so instead of canceling, we covered the gig.

And afterwards we thought, “There wasn’t really anything missing.” Plus it’s a lot more cost-efficient. and I didn’t feel like I was getting my creativity out like I wanted. Now, when I take lyrics or a guitar structure to Bryon, what he puts behind it is 100 percent different than what I expected, which is cool. And honestly, that’s what was tripping me up before. So it’s all originals. I love old roots music, but after 50 years, how many more times can you play that kind of song and still put an original spin on it?

F.W.: Do The Low Counts have an album out yet?

are from the ’60s and are programmed to be more open-minded about music. But some older cats, man … if I told ’em I listened to hiphop, they’d turn their noses up at me and say, “What the f*ck’s wrong with you?” But that’s what we’re going for with The Low Counts — anything abrasive, whether it’s blues, country, hip-hop or whatever. It’s just gotta be rocking and have an edge to it. Hell-raising kind of stuff, you know?

to do in Jacksonville. But a handful of creative organizers have rallied 70 DJs, bands and visual artists for an all-day festival at five downtown venues. This will give people something to talk about.

Bass in the City started off as a fundraiser for the new Eight One Eight Co-Op, an art gallery and studio in downtown Jacksonville created by two students, Daniel Holmes and Wyatt Parlette. More acts climbed on board and before they knew it, Bass in the City had transformed into one of the largest electronic dance movement festivals that Northeast Florida has seen in years.

The event focuses heavily on the electronic dance music scene that’s been all the rage with the youth as of late, but it’s also dripping with

some amazing hip-hop acts, such as the lovely CHOPS, and a few indie rock bands and folk acts, including Christina Wagner.

“I chose acts that I knew the people in Jacksonville would love to see perform, in the youth culture and the older crowds as well,” Holmes said. “It really is about bringing people together at these events.”

Many bands seem to skip this area on their tour schedules. “One of the major reasons why it’s so hard to get big acts to come to Jacksonville on a regular basis is because the community doesn’t support the shows or the promoters who put their time, effort and money into the events to make things happen in Jacksonville,” Holmes said.

Although organizers have been planning Bass in the City for only two months, they’ve already secured a handful of local sponsors including Burrito Gallery, Icon Jax and Wisdom Sunblockers. If Bass in the City is a success, Holmes said, he hopes to make it an annual event.

Essay: A Man for All Seasons

A posthumous show places a poet and his work in proper context TO THE HAWKS LEND YOUR HEART: REFLECTIONS OF ALAN JUSTISS Opening reception is Sept. 7; exhibit runs through Sept. 29 Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum, 101 W. First St., Downtown Admission is free 356-2992

A

fter a career that lasted nearly 50 years, Alan Justiss’ tumultuous time as the unofficial poet laureate of Jacksonville ended on Valentine’s Day 2011. His friend, filmmaker and musician Troy Lukkarila, found him lifeless in bed, dead from the strain of maladies suffered during a lengthy physical decline — one that Justiss accelerated by having a lifestyle perhaps more famous than his actual work.

“To The Hawks Lend Your Heart: Reflections of Alan Justiss” opens at Karpeles Museum, where Justiss performed a decade ago. The exhibit was planned by Justiss acolytes ©Creegan, 2011who are both Nestor Gil and Mark active in music, art and academia. Previously, they helped arrange the semi-permanent “Alan Justiss’ Office” display at UNF. “For me, Alan was a model of the intensity of work it takes to be an artist,” Creegan said.

“His dedication to his work and repetition of practice was what influenced me as a young person. To many, he also was such an encouraging supporter, interested in others’ ideas and growth. Ultimately, he was an intense advocate of so many.”

Justiss always joked about becoming famous after death, but he wasn’t kidding. His posthumous push began long before he died. In life, he avoided any fame external to his poetry, which he produced at a brutal pace, adhering

FolioWeekly Poet Alan Justiss, who died on Valentine’s Day 2011, is remembered through his poetry. “And when you hear them, he’s all there in them. That’s pretty terrific,” said Mark Ari, who is producing a spoken-word tribute album of the poet.

debauchery, his focus remained on the work — his, and that of the people he believed in.

The sum total of Justiss’ written output remains unclear, but it probably exceeds 100,000 pages — mostly poetry, but also short fiction, essays and journalism, not to mention correspondence, all typed singlespaced on ancient manual typewriters and filed chronologically back to the 1960s. He kept copious notes elucidating random thoughts and

to a minimalist style already anachronistic when he took it up. Justiss proudly espoused a brand of personal “discipline” that would have killed most people many times, many years ago, and he took nothing for granted.

His father was a psychiatrist who later shot himself, and the son worked hard to top that act: fistfights, overdoses, car wrecks, cancer, congestive heart failure, double pneumonia, emphysema, house fires, a hip broken in a mugging. All of that was washed down with enough alcohol to drown all of Congress, of which he would have approved. (And to think, the man almost became a paratrooper!)

Throughout all the down times, drama and

obsessions, ranging from art, music and film to war and politics, sex and drugs, history and the future. Friends, enemies and strangers alike will find their names scrawled on calendars, on which he documented his days; through them, one can see the past 20 years of his life, in microscopic detail.

Much like his public memorial last March at what is now Sun-Ray Cinema, this opening also functions as a reunion of sorts for the disparate circles that surrounded the man. Justiss was a mentor and confidante to many key artists, writers and musicians in this region. Several will be reciting their favorite Justiss pieces at the reception, while others are contributing

recorded material, some of which will end up on a spoken-word tribute album produced by Mark Ari for EAT, a CD magazine begun at University of North Florida in 2007. (Anyone who wishes to contribute to this project can contact him at markari@bellsouth.net.)

“Much as I love the poems, it was the man that got to me first,” Ari said. “I started EAT Poems a few months ago, and it seemed right to pay tribute to Alan in this way, to have a few of his friends read his poems and to make a record of it. I guess you can say I’m paying a debt. Saying thanks. The poems are what we have of Alan. And when you hear them, he’s all there in them. That’s pretty terrific.”

Justiss received a lot of ink in Folio Weekly.

He appeared on at least three covers and in multiple features, previews, reviews, letters by or about him, and even his obituary. This will be the second story on Justiss to run this year, and the fourth since his death. Excessive?

Hardly. The Florida Times-Union has featured him several times as well, and when you Google “Alan Justiss,” about 61,400 results hit.

Alan Justiss’ role in the broader scope of cultural development in Northeast Florida is truly massive, yet remains quite difficult to explain. For me, he was just the guy who believed in my work when no one else did. “To The Hawks Lend Your Heart” puts the man, and his work, in a more proper historical context.

SEPTEMBER 4-10, 2012 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | 35

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Life tests us all the time. Sometimes its prods and queries are hard and weird; they come at us with non-stop intensity. Other times, the riddles and lessons are fun and friendly, and give us lots of slack to figure them out. In all cases, life’s tests offer the chance to grow smarter, in our head and heart. They challenge us to stretch capacities and invite us to reduce suffering. Right now, oddly enough, you have some choice in what kinds of tests you’d prefer. Keep in mind the more interesting the test, the bigger the reward.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Disappointments should be cremated, not embalmed,” said aphorist Henry S. Haskins. That’s good advice right now. It’s an auspicious moment to set fire to your defeats, letdowns and discouragements — and let them burn down to tiny ash piles. I mean all of them, stretching back for years, not just recent ones. There’s no need to treat them like precious treasures you’re obligated to lug into the future. The time’s right to deepen your mastery of the art of liberation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): According to the religion of ancient Egypt, Tefnut is the goddess of moisture. In the natural world, she rules rain, dew, mist, humidity and condensation. For humans, she’s the source of tears, spit, sweat, phlegm and the wetness produced by sex. In accordance with astrological omens, I nominate her to be your tutelary spirit in the week ahead.

You’ll thrive by cultivating a fluidic sensibility. You learn just what you need to learn by paying special attention to everything that exudes, spills and flows.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Columnist Sydney J. Harris told this story. “I walked with a friend to the newsstand the other night, and he bought a paper, thanking the owner politely. The owner, though, didn’t even acknowledge it. ‘A sullen fellow, isn’t he?’ I commented as we walked away. ‘Oh, he’s that way every night,’ shrugged my friend. ‘Then why do you continue being so polite to him?’ I asked. And my friend replied, ‘Why should I let him determine how I’m going to act?’”

Adopt that approach next week. Be your best self even if no one appreciates it or responds. Astrologically speaking, it’s prime time to anchor yourself in your highest integrity.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I’m guessing you don’t know the name of the person who sent the first email. It was Ray Tomlinson, in 1971.

You may also be unaware he originated the use of the @ symbol as a key part of email addresses. I’d like to address your inner Ray Tomlinson: the part of you that’s done valuable work hardly anyone knows about; the part that’s created good stuff without getting much credit or appreciation. I celebrate that unsung hero, and I hope you make a special effort to do the same next week.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Busy editor Katie Hintz-Zambrano was asked in an interview what she does when she’s not working at her demanding job. She said she likes to gets together with her “article club,” which is like a book club, except it’s for those who don’t have time to read anything longer than articles. I’d approve you to seek short-cut pleasures like that in the next few weeks. It’s one of those phases in your astrological cycle when you have poetic license to skip a few steps, avoid some boring details and take leaps of faith to let you bypass complicated hassles.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Imagine you’re living in 1880. You’re done with work for the day, and you’re home enjoying some alone-time leisure activities. What might these be? By the light of an oil lamp, you could read a book, sing songs, compose a letter with pen and paper or write in a diary. Now transfer your imaginative attention to your actual living space in 2012. It may have a smart phone, tablet, laptop, TV, DVD player and game console. You’ve got access to thousands of videos, movies, songs, social media, websites and games. Aren’t you glad you live now instead of 1880? On the other hand, having so many choices can result in wasting lots of time with stimuli that don’t fully engage you. Make this the week to see what it’s like to use leisure time for only the highest-quality, most interesting and worthwhile stuff.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I bet an “aha!” experience arrives at a faster rate than you’ve seen in a long time. Breakthroughs and brainstorms will be your specialty. Surprises and serendipitous adventures should be your delight. The only factor to possibly obstruct the flow may be if you cling too tightly to expectations or believe too fiercely in old theories about how the world works. How to ensure the best possible outcome? Several times a day, say something like this: “I love to get my curiosity spiked, hair mussed, awe struck, goose bumps roused, dogmas exploded and my mind blown.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the 1960 Olympics at Rome, Ethiopian runner Abebe Bikila was barefoot as he won a gold medal in the marathon race. Four years later, at Tokyo’s summer games, he won a gold medal again, this time wearing shoes. I’m guessing this theme may apply to you and your life in the weeks ahead. You have the potential to score another victory in a situation where you’ve triumphed before. It’s even more likely to happen if you vary some fundamental detail, as Bikila did.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Wikipedia has extensive lists of the biggest unsolved problems in medicine, computer science, philosophy and nine other fields. Each article treats those riddles with utmost respect and interest, not as subjects to be avoided but embraced. I love this perspective, and urge you to apply it to your life. It’s an excellent time, astrologically speaking, to write a master list of your biggest unsolved problems. Have fun. Activate your wild mind. Make it a game. I bet that doing so attracts a flood of useful information to help you get closer to solving those problems. (Wikipedia’s big list: tinyurl.com/ListofProblems.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There’s a certain love lesson you’ve been studying and studying and studying — and yet haven’t quite mastered. Several different teachers have tried with only partial success to give you insights to allow you to graduate to the next level of romantic understanding.

That’s the bad news. The good news? All this could change in the months ahead. I foresee a breakthrough in your relationship with intimacy. I predict benevolent jolts and healing shocks letting you learn at least some of the open-hearted truths eluding you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A mother wrote to the “Car Talk” columnists to ask if it’s possible to cook food on a car engine. She wanted to be able to take piping hot burritos to her teenage son when she picked him up from school. The experts replied that yes, that’s a fine idea. They said there’s even a book about it, “Manifold Destiny: The One! The Only! Guide to Cooking on Your Car Engine!” Engage in this kind of creative thinking next week. Consider innovations that may seem a bit eccentric. Imagine how you’d use familiar things in unexpected ways. Expand your sense of how to coordinate two seemingly unrelated activities.

Where: Jax Beach @ 6th Ave. S. #1407-0904 REDHEADED HOSTESS AT BLUEFISH You were the somewhat melancholy-looking hostess at The Blue Fish in Avondale, and all the black wasn’t helping.

Where: PV Beach. #1395-0807 IN YOUR EYES I was standing behind you in line at Starbucks. You turned around and looked at me. We spoke briefly and the entire time, you looked at me; into my eyes! I felt like the LEADING Lady to your LEADING Man: beautiful movie moment. Our meeting ended with a hug. When: July 27. Where: Starbucks Town Center. #1394-0807 FRIENDLY SMILE IN BLUE FATIGUES I saw you early last Thursday morning around 7 am. You were getting gas and probably heading to NAS.

When: July 18. Where: FSCJ. #1385-0724 BEAUT ON A COMMUTE You: silver Civic. Me: blue pickup.

Where: JTB. #1384-0724
